Yes, you read that right. Mezco Toyz has a new line of Mez-Itz vinyl figures based on the film adaptation of Alan Moore’s critically acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen in the works! I have no idea how Mezco acquired this licensing deal with DC Comics, but it’s pretty exciting that they did. Watchmen Mez-Itz Series 1 features Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan as you’ve never seen them before, as chunky cute designer vinyl figures.
Each Watchmen Mez-Itz stands 6 inches tall and can be pre-ordered as a two figure set from EntertainmentEarth.com for $21.99 here. These Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan Mez-Itz vinyl figures are expected to start showing up in retail locations worldwide sometime in June 2010. It’s begining to look like the summer of 2010 is going to be a very busy time for Mezco Toyz and its fans!
